Two Seneca meetings addressed downtown re-development

Two Seneca meetings yesterday addressed the city’s stepped-up effort to help private business to re-develop parts of the downtown. City administrator Scott Moulder says the city has worked out agreements with four property owners who will receive financial assistance to fix up their properties, and they hope for additional deals. One potential deal would involve two people who’ve had a hand in giving re-birth to parts of the West Greenville commercial area. Those two Greenvillians have interest in buying the former Hometown Food Store building now owned by the city. Yesterday’s meetings involved the Seneca Facilities Corporation and the Seneca Improvements Corporation. The five-member facilities corporation is looking to expand to sixth member. If city council approves, Randy Molloseau will be the sixth member.
